J. C0LL-JI3IA, to. rETf NEC ME roc ;!2 Pages THE MOST WIDELY CIRCULATED WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN FRANKLIN COUNTY Established in the year 1865 County's school aid to increase$281,876 More money returned in state 'school aid than will be paid out because of new tax rates is to be the story in every county of Missouri, according to statistics compiled by the State Comptroller, John Schwada, and the Missouri State Teachers Association. Franklin County will pay an estimated annual increase of $141,-801 in new beer, liquor and cigarette taxes, the compilation shows, but it will receive for all the schools in the county an additional $281,876 in the next school year. The revenues are estimated on a per-capita basis. The figures for the schools aro the sums they would have received during the 1960-61 school year had the full foundation program been in effect at that time, according to Everett Keith, of Columbia, Executive Secretary of the State Teachers Association.The only tax increases asked of the General Assembly by Governor Dalton (except for the highway program) consisted of an additional tenth of a cent on a can of beer, an extra eight cents on a fifth of spirits and two more cents on a package of cigarettes. "We do not claim to have worked any loaves-and-fishes miracle," the Governor said as he signed into law House Bills 102 and 113. appropriating money to fulfill the school foundation program, "but 1 am immensely pleased this program is working out so well. Of course, the state cannot pay out more than it takes in, and we shall have a balanced budget. The bonus is coming from the fact that we shall collect the existing taxes mucn more thoroughly, particularly through the withholding plan on state income tax, plus the normal revenue increase that works out at approximately 5 per cent each year. "Our program not only fulfills the school plan, but provides additional money much needed for higher education, greater aid to the mental health effort, and helps the unavoidable cost increases of governmental services in an inflationary period." "The full financing of the foundation program brings to the schools an approximate average increase of $40 per child in average daily attendance per year, above the $120 per child for the school year just closed," commented Hubert Wheeler, State Commissioner of Education, who was present when the Governor signed the appropriation bills. "This will permit better salaries for teachers, employing competency in new teachers and improvement in general, yet Missouri will still remain below the average among the states in payment of state funds per pupil." Mr. Keith, whose teacher's association strongly supported the Governor's proposal in the legislature, said, "We shall be more in line with other states in the salaries our schools can pay, and we should now he able to compete for the teaching services of graduates of our own colleges, who have been steadily going out of the state for higher pay. The pressure on school boards constantly to ask for larger and larger levies is certain to be less and the quality of education for Missouri school children will move upward." Mr. Keith cited some instances of what the new program would have meant for certain typical school districts had it been in effect during the 1960-61 school year. Examples: Independence, an AAA high school, would have received $421,702 in additional state aid, the equivalent of a $1.03 increase in the local levy there. Maiden, which has been an AA high school, would have had additional state aid in the amount of $65,179, a sum that would Tquirc an added levy of $1.73 were it to be raised locally in the district. Centerville, which lias a class A high school, would have benefitted by increased state aiil amounting to $10,761, equal to a $2.35 levy in that district. Franklin County school received $734,580.97 in state aid last year. The $281,876 is in addition to this amount. School tax charges in Franklin County amounted to $1,725,816.97 in 1960.
